>Zubat called for help!

>>29798486
I had it call nine other fucking zubats in a row before I got a chance to throw a fucking pokeball.

It was worse than the fucking Oricorio that took 17 fucking Great Balls to catch and also kept spamming call for help, just not as much.

Wait, are you saying random wilds can call other pokemon to join battle?

>>29799114
After the first totem battle yes, every wild encounter except maybe special ones can

And that backup can also call for backup if the original dies first, and so can that backup etc

It gets really fucking annoying really fast

>>29799152
Can you run?

Put it to sleep?

>>29799302
Yes, but if you're playing on set and without exp share you'll be often around the wild mons' level, so if your first mon is relatively slow you're going to fail to run pretty often.

>>29799325
That's a good idea. What can I catch on the first island that can sleep the opponent? This shit keeps happening.

>>29799654
Petilil, Ghastly or Slowpoke all learn sleep moves early

>>29799152
Amazing, I'm loving the things I'm hearing about these games more and more
Maybe now wild mons will finally be difficult to capture

Have you tried Chinese water torture? It sounds right up your alley.

>>29801173
You say that because you haven't played the game
It's so fucking annoying I just wanted to catch a dumb zubat

Are you underage, or talking shit about a game mechanic taken straight from Earthbound?

>>29801173
It's awesome the first few times, then you feel like strangling someone. Plus, the pokemon you capture doesn't feel special when you knocked out like five others of its kind to get it.

I'm going to use Set battle style and turn off the Exp Share and there's nothing you can do to stop me

>>29801714
>then you feel
>doesn't feel
Got any arguments that aren't feelings?

>>29801726
Okay, good for you champ, but that has literally nothing to do with what's objectively a poorly-thought out, MANDATORY mechanic.

>salandit has a high catch rate
>salandit has a high male:female ratio
>salandit knows fucking dragon rage at level 18ish
>salandit calls for help every five seconds and can do it right after you knock out the previous partner

What a bitch to catch.

Can confirm-it gets old REEEAAAAL fast.
Doesn't help that the games pacing is pretty slow too

Caught the reinforcement and it has 31 attack iv.
Her name is Jackhammer.

THIS replaced horde battles?

I can't wait to see this feature removed and see you bitch about it

If you put the pokemon to sleep, can it still call for help?

>>29802607
No.

>>29801173
there are ways to make the game difficult and this is most certainly not the way to do it

catching random fodder like zubat never needed to be a hassle

>>29802668
Opinions
I love it when random encounters can call for reinforcements in JRPGs

Can they call their evolutions?

Unrelated,anyone run into those lvl 10 Salamences yet,or are they postgame?

Yes if they are in the same area, I had Magby calling Magmar.
